Post and Beam Construction Techniques

08 Aug Post and Beam Construction Techniques

Post and beam construction can be defined as a style of construction that allows you to see the supporting frame of a home; it is a method of building using upright and horizontal beams. This type of construction method is very flexible, allowing the homeowner to have a design that is uniquely their own. Because the beams are usually visible inside the building, post and beam construction often creates interesting and dramatic features in a home.

The house is exactly as we first designed it. We are very appreciative of the fine quality of both wood and craftsmanship that went into the materials delivered.

Our experience working with Normerica … was wonderful and the coordination with our builders was seamless. It couldn’t have worked out better.

The tech rep from Normerica quickly got our crew organized and we had the structure up in three days as planned. The entire experience has been everything I envisioned and, of course the cottage itself is stunning.

Normerica is the most professional, personal, and accommodating company I have worked with. Their attention to detail at every level was by far a “10” on any scale.

Building from a distance was a daunting process but with Normerica’s unstinting advice guidance and patience it was a privilege to have them build our cottage.

We love our home on Lake Huron and so does everyone who sees it. I have built thousands of units over 30+ years in the housing business and as an “insider”, I was very impressed with the Normerica product and process.

A Normerica Design/Build project in collaboration with Michael Pettes Architects, this stunning timber frame clubhouse features a contemporary timber design with a dramatic vaulted ceiling, showcasing the towering strength and beauty of the exposed Northern White Pine posts and beams. The 7,500 sq.ft.-plus clubhouse is highlighted by timber to timber windows that offer scenic panoramic vistas of the picturesque new RedCrest Course. A cozy 1,500 sq.ft. covered porch offers an area where golfers will be able to enjoy the views while relaxing before or after a round of golf. Men’s and women’s locker rooms, a state-of-the art kitchen, lounge areas, elevator access, an open concept pro shop and a casual dining area with a bar overlooking the course are just a few of the other key features. The clubhouse is extremely energy efficient with increased wall and roof insulation that results in an energy efficiency rating that is 33 per cent above the norm. The ground source heating and cooling system feed off the existing well allowing the potable water brought into the building to heat and cool the building. Construction started January 2009 and was in operation by early August 2009.
